Did a quick trip to York today and monitored the West, Central and South sites for a while...
York County seems alot busier than when I lived south of Hanover 25 years ago but it could just be that I didn't hear alot from the Hanover area at that time as everything was on low band then (that was long before the UHF trunk system came to be).
Anyway, at first, the radio was being dominated by what sounded like a large school evacuation (real? drill? Idunno). That went on for quite a while. Then, there was a 2-alarm apartment structure fire in the southeast corner of the county (I think). Next there was a fairly large (and growing) search going on for a missing child - also in the southern part of the county I believe. Command was requesting air support and search teams - sounded like one coming from Cumberland County and another being requested from Frederick County Maryland.
This is what I saw on the 700 sites during my trip:
- it appears that the Fire/EMS talkgroup IDs are still the same on the 700 sites (for now at least).
- I matched up a couple 51xxx TGIDs to existing 12xxx TGIDs for some law enforcement areas (submitted to the database)
- I found several 51xxx law enforcement TGIDs that appeared on both the UHF and 700 Mhz sites... I'll have to play some of that back and see if I can narrow things down.
- Saw quite a few patches set up on various sites.
- I suspect some of the towers are not yet operational - I was near/at the Lincolnway Fire station and that tower is listed as being on the (extended?) central site license ... certainly didn't seem to be transmitting. I parked on George St downtown (which is on the primary central site license) for about an hour and it was very stable. That site is very busy (not a surprise)
- Even though the 700 frquencies are intended to be P25 Phase 2 and much of it was, there was a considerable amount of Phase 1 activity - easy to detect since my Unication G4 is still only Phase 1 (soon to be Phase capable I hope!)
Between Saturday's swing through the area and today, Pro96Com detected these TGIDs on the 700 Mhz sites (some encrypted):

I'll probably be back in a bit after I listen to the recordings I captured.
